How much of an increase in Reading score is realistic?

<p>Scores for June test were:</p>

<p>Composite 27
English 30
Math 26
Reading 23
Science 28
Writing/Eng 30</p>

<p>That reading score obviously needs to increase … how much of an increase is realistic by doing lots and lots of practice tests? Is it wise to just focus on getting the reading up if aiming for a composite of 28 or 29 ?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I improved mine from a 29 to a 35. The first time I took it, I had absolutely no preparation and just woke up the morning of the test and took it. When I got my scores back, the Reading (as well as Science, which shocked me a bit when I first saw it!) was my lowest score and bringing my composite down significantly. So I spent a couple of weeks doing several Reading subtests and cutting myself short a couple minutes on time during practice so that I would not run out of time during the real test. With moderate practice, the real test was much easier and far more successful! </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>You did well in the other sections, so I think you could most likely increase your reading by a lot. My friend went from a 21 in reading to a 30. :)</p>
